"To you. fellow citizens, as you have seer
fit today to fill my breast with

Resolved by this convention that while we
congratulate ourselves on the nomination OF
C. V. Reed as judge ofthe eighteenth judicial
district, we recognize in the administration
OF Hon. T. B. Wall, the present incumbent,
the works of careful lawyer, a just and
able judge.
After the resolutions were passed Judge
Wall, in response to call, spoke as follows:
Gentlemen OF the Convention.
The resolution by which you pay me high
compliment, coming as it does touches me
deeply, and 1 can find no language with
which to express my deep obligation and to
the Republican party Of Sedgwick county. 1
shall embrace this opportunity of thanking
the Republicans of the Eighteenth judicial
district for the honor awarded me, by elect
ing me to the honorable and high position
which now fill. l also owe debt of graft
tude to the members of the bar of this and the
counties late in this district, for the support
and courtesy given me while endeavor
ing to discharge the arduous
duties devolving on me as judge.
The nominee of This convention, Mr.. Reed,
is an able lawyer and will make an honest,
upright judge.
My reason for not desiring to longer re-
main in the official position | now fill, is no
lack of allegiance to the Republican party,
as believe it to be the grandest and best
political organization which ever had an
existence in this country. I am too young
man to contract the habit of holding an office
as means of livelihood. The one ambition
[ have had in connection with the judgeship
has been to keep the judicial ermine pure,
and to lay it off without stain. When l
ook into the faces of the old, true friends
